About this episode

The episode discusses the Cavs' loss to the Raptors and the need for strategic adjustments moving forward in the series.

The Cavs lose their first game of the series versus the Raptors. Is it the end of the world? Not yet. But it sure was the ugliest game of basketball the cavs have played in the postseason in a while. So the question is, can Harden and Mitchell reign things back in? Can the bench including Tyson make a difference? And can the Cavs find a way to put the hot hand of Barnes down?
